Ne-yo's comeback Concert with Jadyn Maria (January 9 2010)

Everyone’s excited for Ne-yo’s comeback concert on January 9, 2010, Friday. My pals and I were off to MOA concert grounds that day. At 5:30 PM, my mom dropped me by at Tita Lui’s place. I was surprised to see that almost every one of us was wearing black. 30 minutes later, we started travelling from Muntinlupa to Mall of Asia. We were excitedly talking about the concert inside the van. We arrived there by 7PM. The tantalizing globe of MOA caught our attention. The first thing we did was to eat a dinner at Savory’s, near the concert grounds.

There was a fifteen-minute fireworks before the show in the stage started. DJ MO Twister appeared to be the host (we didn’t see him because we’re still outside, eating) and the first artist was a group of girls. Exactly after everything’s set and we’re on our way inside the concert grounds, we heard that Rivermaya was on stage! So I ran, being a fan of the band. I love bands! Miguel got excited too, so he ran with me. I didn’t know that the band hired a new vocalist since I didn’t hear news about them lately. Fortunately, I found him really cute. n_n His name is Jason Fernandez. They sang a few of my favorite cheesy tagalong songs. Unfortunately, I hadn’t taken a picture of them because they are way too far. They finished singing before 8PM.


We were all excited for Neyo on stage so we waited for him for about an hour. But it’s ok; it’s worth waiting for. The first thing Nay’s said was, “Rest in peace MJ!” He has this hat that covers his eyes. Everyone shouted including us. His first song was “Because of You”. We really enjoyed singing with the tune and dancing to the beat. He has a lot of stunning back up singers, dancers, and instrumentalists. Ne-yo’s dramatic choreographies added more beauty and life to his songs. I don’t really know a majority if his songs but they’re all really familiar. There are four of my favorite songs from him, “So Sick,” “Miss Independent,” “Closer” and “Mad”. So I really waited for those songs so I can sing along. Fortunately, he sang all of the songs! Many people shouted out louder when he sang these songs. I was surprised when he said goodbye and made his way to the backstage without singing “closer.” So the people chanted, “more!” and Neyo came out.

Along with him was Jadyn Maria. She sang two songs. I don’t see her much often on the televisions or radios but she seems pretty cool at the concert. One of her songs is entitled “Little Things,” and I remember she said that this song’s dedicated for those who were taken for granted. It was also a birthday of one of Ne-yo’s back-up dancers so we sang a birthday song at the end of the concert.

Although the concert ended at 11 PM, we still had high energies. We had so much fun and really enjoyed. Before going home, we dropped by to chill at Starbucks and enjoyed Tita Lui’s treat.
